“Many of our students lack confidence in their academic ability so they were buzzing when they realised they can hold their own in a conversation with intelligent, educated people and this helped them realise they are all scientists too!”Julia Anderson, FE College Biology Lecturer

How do I apply?

Fill in the registration form on this page and we’ll email you before the start of the next activity to ask if you want to take part with your students (on mobile? Scroll down).

How much time will it take?

We provide all the resources and materials needed, whether you’re running I’m a Scientist with just one class or a whole year group; including suggested lesson plans and modifications to suit different students’ abilities.

We recommend spending at least 2 hours on the event. This will usually be one introductory lesson, one piece of homework (we suggest reading scientists’ profiles and posting questions in ASK) and one lesson of live chat with the scientists.

Be warned: most teachers, when asked what they would do differently next time, said ‘spend more time on I’m a Scientist’.

How much does it cost?

Each event we work with a range of organisations to offer fully-funded places to UK state-maintained schools and colleges.
